“Again, I am so grateful for the care provided by Kimberly, Jeremy and their family. I am blessed to have their availability when I have to travel for work.”

“Caroline was so kind and easy to work with! We were coming from out of town to attend a wedding and it was so wonderful to know that Macy was in good hands for the two days we couldn't have her at the hotel. Macy loved playing with their dogs and enjoyed meeting the pigs and chickens as well :) We highly recommend Caroline and would definitely use her again!”

“Our first experience using Rover was very pleasant because of Morgan!! She is very accommodating for such a short notice. She is flexible with drop off and picks up and communicative. My pup Evee felt right at home and warmed up rather quickly with Morgan and her dog. I couldn't thank her enough for keeping our family at ease with updates of Evee with photos and videos! Thank you!❤️”

“Peter was amazing and took such great care of our Baxter! This was our first time leaving him with a sitter and we were very concerned. Peter reassured us and sent updates throughout our trip! Highly recommend!!!”


“Heather was great with our dog, Rosie! She sent picture updates each day and gave our dog plenty of exercise. It gave us so much peace of mind to know Rosie was taken care of while we were away--hope we can book with you again, Heather! Thanks for everything.”


“Megan did an excellent job watching my dog. She kept me updated the whole time, with pictures, and dogs status. She has a great space for them, and is very attentive. I will definitely be a return customer!! Thank you Megan”

“Such a wonderful and relaxing time for road-worn Millie! It was wonderful that Coleen was available and her home and environment were so peaceful! I would highly recommend Coleen for any care for any pet. I felt like Millie had a nice vacation with her Auntie🥰. Will be using her again when we return to TC next spring.”

“I liked Erika as soon as I met her. I felt totally comfortable leaving my three little men in her care and I was not disappointed. She took great care of them and my home.”

“Sally took care of my cat while I was on vacation and I was able to enjoy my time away without a care! Someone who is reliable and communicative are the most important things when looking for a pet sitter, and Sally is both. My power went out while I was out of town and Sally made sure that I was updated and that my cat was cared for the entire time. I will definitely be booking with her again soon!”

There is a large gated in yard for your pups to play in and it’s a safe area to go on lots of walks as well!
About: Since childhood, I've always had a dog at home, mainly pugs and Aussies. Back home, I use to watch all my siblings dogs as well as watching friends fur babies. I love animals! I’m going back to college (online) so I’ll have plenty of time during the day to go and let a pup out for a walk or even the possibly of sitting at my home. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. The Aussie is high energy and my pug is old and is not bothered by other dogs, he just will not play.

Jessica sent us updates and photos throughout, which was fabulous that made us feel at ease, it was a great experience. She was wonderful and took excellent care for Bear and Sadie! We will definitely be booking again!”

“We had a day trip planned and couldn't bring our dog so we found Emily on Rover. She had a lot of 5 star reviews and now I know why! She was AMAZING and treated our fur child like her own. She was extremely responsive to messages, provided pictures during the stay and was just genuinely a wonderful person. Seriously cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I am a long-time lover of animals, and have raised a family of humans, along with a family of pets- large dogs, small dogs, birds, hamsters, mice and turtles. I am currently without a pet, so I care for my backyard squirrels, birds, and chipmunks. I am retired with lots of time, energy, and love to care for your dear pet. I love to walk and hike, live close to the TART trail, and would enjoy the company of a furry friend. Walking trails are just outside my door, and I have space for crates and your furry friend's toys or their own special bed and blanket if preferred for their care and comfort.

About: I’ve taken care of Pets since I was a little girl! Born and raised on a farm and always had dogs around! I currently have two of my own and recently opened a Dog Boading facility at my home in Evart Mi! I’m currently working part time with a pretty Flexible schedule so I have time to let pups out for potty breaks and lots of exercise/ play time in our fenced in yard I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pup to run and play. My kennel is also available should I need to leave for a few hours.
About: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am the go to dog/cat watcher of my extended family. I am well trusted with all fur babies! Animals are members of our families and I don’t take that lightly with them under my care. I will treat them as my own and give them so much loving! I work from home full time so can be present with your pet at all times! I’m very active and love being outside with the doggies! I have a fully fenced in yard so your dog can run outside and play at any time under my care where I will play with them!
